Henna is the most famous and most common natural herb which provides coloring to skin and hairs.

Henna is particularly popular in India, where mehndi is often applied before a wedding, typically on the bride’s hands and feet. Traditionally, it is said that when a bride wears henna designs, the darker the color, the more her husband will love her. It also features in many religious and cultural festivals, such as Karva Chauth, Diwali and Eid.

Henna is usually made into a paste that is then piped, syringed or painted onto the skin in intricate patterns. It needs to be left on the skin for a period of time to allow for the staining to occur, then the dried paste can be flaked off. The stain is initially orange in color, but darkens over several days to a reddish brown. It will then gradually wear off, but can last weeks.
